Lenovo Officially Announces its First Netbook – the IdeaPad S10

Well, well, well. It didn’t take Lenovo that long to officially announce its entry into the netbook market with its very own IdeaPad S10.

Lenovo’s senior vice president, Consumer Business Group has this to say about the launch of their IdeaPad S10

“IdeaPad netbooks are the latest in a string of recently announced Lenovo products, designed specifically for consumers worldwide and developed through our heritage of technological innovation and exceptional engineering.”

and

“As rapidly as the technology changes, today’s consumers are looking for mobile products that feature the best of basic computing functions in an extremely compact and affordable form, and Lenovo designed the IdeaPad netbooks for that purpose.”

All the specs and features that we mentioned previously were true indeed. Offcially, the Lenovo IdeaPad will have an Atom processor. It will come in two models. One model will have a 512MB memory with 80GB hard drive while the second model will have 1GB of memory and a 160GB hard drive.

The Lenovo IdeaPad S10′s starting retail price is $399 and it will be available early October. We would have to admit that $399 is definitely a fair price for a 10.2-inch laptop. This might spell big for Lenovo. Even if it put an additional $100 to its 1GB model, it will still beat the crap out of its competitor.

And finally, you just got to love the spanking glossy red color!
